To 280 - At the time it could only have been speculation, of which Jefferson denied.
All later evidence points to his nephew, Peter Carr. Though even that is not conclusive.
The fact is, no one can offer positive proof as to whom Sally Hemmings's lover was.

Hah!
Are there any contemperous, historical records that Carr was tagging Hemmings and not Jefferson?
And with that, I bow out of this one as all it would suffice to do is provide fodder to those who do not have the Republics Best Interests at heart.
